What do we find when far Northern ice caps melt on Baffin Island, Canada?

Baffin Island is the big red island in the northern part of Canada
"Melting ice caps are exposing plants on Baffin Island that have been frozen for more than 40,000 years, according to a new study, leading the head author to believe the last century of warming has been greater than any other over the last 115,000 years.
Simon Pendleton, a PhD researcher at the University of Boulder Colorado, started looking into the plants at the base of ice caps in 2013."
